ParticipantParents need to hit their kids harder to save them from choking instead of worrying about hurting them in the process, according to a former paramedic.<br>Nikki Jurcutz from Tiny Hearts Education says most parents are too gentle when it comes to saving their kids from choking.<br>Parents often ask her about choking first aid and confess they are scared of hurting or bruising their babies when slapping them on the back.<br>But the healthcare professional says you cannot reasonably smack them ‘too hard’ on their back and that using force will actually save their life.<br>’If you are at the point of needing to use back blows, it means your child is not getting any oxygen into their lungs,’ she said.<br> A nurse has instructed all parents to familiarise themselves with choking first aid and how back blows can save your child’s life<br> Worrying more about bruising your baby more than getting the object lodged in their throat out could have fatal consequences<br>The nurse also urged parents to familiarise themselves with choking first aid and the proper way to give back blows.<br>When a child is choking, some people mistakenly use three fingers instead of the heel of their hand in an upwards direction.<br>Every second the object is left inside is another second without oxygen for your child.<br>Tiny Hearts also introduced the principle of ‘life over limb’ that stated saving your child’s life is the priority over a bruised back.<br>’Bruises can heal, a baby with no oxygen for four minutes cannot,’ the nurse said.<br>She’s often faced with questions from parents about how hard back blows should be, and whether they can hurt the baby.<br>And while back blows have the potential to leave bruises, a mum claimed that ‘a bruised baby is better than a dead baby’.<br> detoatepentrutotisimaimult kindly go to our page.
